From 1bd1b4be4145b9179db38df1fe5eeb208ab8369a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luis R. Rodriguez Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2010 14:09:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 3/9] mac80211: reset probe send counter upon connection timer reset Upon beacon loss we send probe requests after 30 seconds of idle time and we wait for each probe response 1/2 second. We send a total of 3 probe requests before giving up on the AP. In the case that we reset the connection idle monitor we should reset the probe requests count to 0. Right now this won't help in any way but the next patch will. This patch has fixes for stable kernel [2.6.35+]. Cc: stable@kernel.org Cc: Paul Stewart Cc: Amod Bodas Signed-off-by: Luis R.
